How-to

./run.bash -i dockwater:noetic
  • New -i flag adds --devices /dev/dri which initiates rocker to use internal graphics. It's inherited from rocker document.
  • Added case invalid option error msg

I am reviving myself through Ros-Gazebo framework and found this option is needed for students here since most of their laptops does not have external graphics card.

Are students (or anyone) able to get reasonable performance when running with internal graphics instead of a GPU? The reason we dropped support for this is that the simulations this repository is intended to support (especially vrx, dave and vorc) have typically needed a GPU to produce a decent user experience. If the users are getting very low RTF or poor rendering I would rather not officially support this option.

If there is some integrated graphics setup out there that seems to be handling the simulations well enough it would be great to know what it is so we can potentially add it to our list of supported hardware configurations.
